Scanning in original photos and postcards at very high resolution, enabled me to pick out some things I’d previously missed in photo. Take for example, this 1920’s scene at Barnhill.

This is the Barnhill Tavern at Bardykes Road. An entrance faces also out on to Bardykes Road , complete with little iron bootscraper at the door. The man would now be standing on the busy road, the photo clearly taken from the elevated position above the wall of the Pech Brae in the foreground.
